food and movie this is a rather long post, which is good because it actually shows that i have a life outside school! anyway i was craving steamboat and we were at marina square, so we decided to try suki-ya!  suki-ya offers steamboat buffet for $19.90++. there are 3 choices for soup base-- kimchi, sukiyaki and shabu shabu. other than the buffet spread of noodles, vegetables and other accompaniments, you get to have free flow of chicken, pork and beef.  the seating area is actually pretty spacious and they have long tables for huge groups of people.   we had a choice of 2 soup base, so we selected sukiyaki and kimchi. i didn't like the sukiyaki one at all. it had a weird aftertaste but my sis and matthew preferred it. the kimchi one was average, to me, the better out of the 2 if i had to choose. however, i felt the soups were inferior compared to many other restaurants.    at the end of the meal, we each got to have ONE cup of ice-cream. yes, they actually limit the amount. they lock the machine and you have to wait for one of the staff to operate for you. how miserly. besides that, the limitation of only chicken, pork and beef does hinder a carnivore's appreciation for a buffet. only thinly sliced pieces of meat! no seasoning of any kind or other cuts of meat. how boring. after that not particularly satisfying steamboat, we headed for our movie-- despicable me.  imagine, i only managed to catch it that late. my first free weekend that i could go out for an uninterrupted period of time. anyway it was a funny movie and i absolutely loved those small potato-shaped characters. also, i like how his nose was used at the end!  after the movie, we were thirsty and there were only a few shops opened. i tried the lemon smoothie with jelly at each a cup. it was milky white and surprisingly light. wasn't overly tangy or sour at all. just a right drink before i went home for a good night sleep!
